ENLACE Cohort 16 is hosting an intimate gathering that centers on community through stories. This is an opportunity for past and present Enlacistas to reconnect, reflect, and celebrate our shared journey. As part of this event, we are organizing a fundraiser to support the Dr. Daniel Lopez Jr. Undocumented Student Fund, with a goal of raising $5,000 by December 5th.

The ENLACE Leadership Institute (ENgaging LAtinx Communities for Education) recently celebrated 25 years of impact. ENLACE has contributed to graduating more than 200 master’s students who now serve in higher education leadership roles across the region. Our program continues to prepare leaders who advocate for equity and responsiveness to the needs of Latinx and other historically marginalized student populations. Funds raised will directly support undocumented and mixed-status students who often face financial barriers to continuing their post-secondary studies. These contributions will help ease those challenges and affirm our shared commitment to access, equity, and educational justice.

We look forward to hosting you!
